Useless Things
Maloušková, Drahomíra ; Jeřábková, Edith (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
Useless things. I normally use trash things like pattern in painting still life. My father suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder – accumulation of things. In addition to painting, I also work with objects themselves. My interest also closely related to how the concepts of the subject, object and artifact are appliing in contemporary art. There are the tradition of imitation fact, principle of ready-made, the issue of technical reproducibility and virtual reality of things in history of art. As a central theme of my thesis, I selected the part of bodywork Tatra 613, which carries all the testimony about ,,useless and hopeless "situation in which it is located. It is also an object monumental and visually very aesthetic. Yet it is not my intention to settle for the principle of redy-made. Asked about artwork as intermediaries art and its seemingly useless producing and reproducing, I want to try to create another such usless situation. That's why I make a cardboard copy (1: 1) of this object. I also make video with motive 3D copy of the same object. I like to create some voltage between that useless object and valuable art practice. I think, it does not just mean such futility when these objects will be viewed as an art.

Physiotherapeutic care of patient with diagnostics of the impingement syndrome
BUŘILOVÁ, Pavlína
This thesis deals with the issue of physiotherapeutical care of patients diagnosed with impingement syndrome of arteculatio humeri. Impingement syndrome means an oppression or distress in the area of arteculatio humeri. That signifies an oppression of tendon m. supraspinatus in the subacromial area.It is clinically demonstrated by pain and functional limitation of movement and is caused by an overload of rotator cuff and its oppression with traumatic changes in the area of subacromial area.The most important information from kinesiology and biomechanics of arteculatio humeri are described in the theoretical part of the thesis. The possible causes of the development of impingement syndrome in different age ranges, individual stages and possible treatment methods are included too.For the research part of the thesis I used the method of qualitative research and investigative and therapeutic methods. In the kinesiological analysis I used the investigative methods according to Janda (muscle test and the test of abbreviated muscles), investigation of arthral free play according to Rychlíková, goniometric examination, visual inspection and palpation and examination of reflective changes according to Lewit. In the proposed procedures of physiotherapy the methods of soft tissues, postisometric muscle relaxation according to Lewit (including subsequent stretching), mobilization according to Rychlíková, PNF according to Kabat, respiratory physiotherapy and kryotherapy were used. I used interviews and observations to gather the data. The research file consisted of three patients who were recommended by orthopedic doctor for the surgical solution of impingement syndrome. The whole amount of time dedicated to the actual research was two months for the first two patients and three months for the third one. The patients were informed about the progress and goal of the therapy. The goal of this work was to compile the issues of impingement syndrome and describe the theoretical foundation of the area of kinesiology of arteculatio humeri.The second goal was to describe the physiotherapeutic possibilities and its practical efficiency in the research part. At the beginning of the research, the investigatory question was chosen: Which procedure of physiotherapy is efficient? The process and results rated and judged during the operational solution of impingement syndrome of arteculatio humeri were. The therapy of two of the patients was efficient. The edema, range of movement,muscular strength was modified and the respiratory stereotype and abduction stereotype was enhanced. The third patient, who was subjected to the revision of rotator cuff, did not reach the optimal results because of the short stretch time of therapy. The first six weeks of the therapy consisted of passive movements and in the next six weeks the active exercises were introduced to affect the muscular strength and interplay when moving. The results were also affected by a fall that resulted in a fracture in the Th12 area, treated in conservative way. The period of six weeks is too short to affect the quality of movement in full range in this case. Nevertheless, the clinical state was improved according to the output examination and the therapy was evaluated as efficient. The frequency of pain was lowered and the edema, range of movement in arteculatio humeri was adjusted, the muscular strength increased and the respiratory stereotype was modified. The results of research part showed that the methods used in the therapeutic part were effective and thus the goal of the research was fulfilled. The contents of this thesis are going to be available to the physiotherapeutic public. It can be beneficial in the clinical practice because it calls attention to the impingement syndrome and the possible procedures of physiotherapy.

Pictorial art in The return of the native by Thomas Hardy
Fantová, Jitka ; Beran, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nováková, Soňa (referee)
The Return of the Native has proven to be a great example of the use of pictorial art in literature. Having been created in the middle of the second half of the 19th century, it became a mirror of the contemporary development of art. Not only does it use some principles from Academism, drawing heavily on the powerful impressions elicited by the sublime and the picturesque, but also it is inspired by Impressionism and a completely new point of view on the subject portrayed. Hardy is also influenced by the baroque play of light and shade, as well as by the symbolism of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Reading the novel is like going through a gallery where the subjects of all paintings of different styles are related to one plot. Hardy has shown us several ways of incorporating a clear visual image carrying a meaning into a text. Firstly, it can be a direct reference to a picture or a painter, which helps Hardy to create a more detailed image of a scene in the reader's head, in case he or she knows the picture or the painter. Secondly, he uses methods of artistic styles in portrayal of characters and scenes to enhance particular qualities. Most striking is his obsession with lighting, which binds the structure of the novel together. It allows for a very original style of writing that leaves a long-lasting...

Jan Opolský and his prosaic work in temporary literary context
Horčíková, Lucie ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to define Jan Opolský′s prosaic works with emphasis put on his evident inspiration through fine arts. The work of Jan Opolský does not exceed limits of a short stories. It almost falls short of an action. The predominant feature would be reflexion and visual description. That is especially the case with voluminious parts devoted to the bright light and the color nuances - with their changing expresions and diverse shades reflected on the presented object of art. The whole momentum of his prosaic work tends to be included in exactly these parts of his ouvre. In his writing, Opolský uses his skills he earned as a craftsman and as an expert in various artistic fields. Because of his obsession with the world of art, he can be considered a good example of a decadent artist. A number of his texts, especially given these features it is focusing on, have symbolic legitimacy anyway.
